You were attending a family reunion party outside the garden of the family Maximoff's mansion, you were all complete. You were finishing dinner while your husband was away talking with Anastasia, you were gently smiling, genuinely happy that he was smiling, and bitterly a bit painful seeing them talk so closely before your gaze shifted to Nina, your daughter, who was playing with her older cousins, Aaron and Aurora. Anastasia and your older cousin, Claude's youngest child, and Aurora, their eldest.

But despite how the different treatment Anastasia does to her children and husband, their daughter Aurora was never left behind by Nina and Claude and would always play with her even though Anastasia treats Claude and Aaron differently. Seeing the same way how Lucas treats you and Nina. It pains you to see repetition. But you were slowly knocked off from thinking when Nina came up to you..

“MAMMMY!!!!~ ”

She yelled out for you while running towards you with her chubby little legs, wearing her favorite pink strawberry-coded dress, holding onto her hat.

“I played with brother Aaron! And big sister, Aurora! Ron-ron so nice and charming... and.. and..” Nina catches her breathe and place her small hand to her chest, removing her wet black bangs from her face..

“Big Sis Aurie looks like a fairy. She's SOOO PRETTY.”

“Oh, so my little princess had LOTS of fun, didn't she?” you said.. as you nuzzled your nose with hers and wiped her face and back with a clean dried towel...

But, little did you notice... Lucas was glancing at you and Nina, while Anastasia did the same looking back to her husband, Claude and her son Aaron.. And both their looks were rather stoic yet filled with guilt and empathy.. They both suddenly bid for a while and Lucas came to you, but you didn't notice since you knelt to Nina's level and your back was facing as you changed her dress, and Claude was fixing his glasses since Aaron was goofing around while he tried to gently protect his daughter Aurora from his youngest mischievous tactics.
